Real Estate: Take a tour of the Ann Currie-Bell House
THOMAS MOORE HOUSE
The Thomas Moore House, built around 1750 and named for the original owner of the land, is one of the historical society’s oldest properties. The cape-style house has been fully restored to reflect life in the 18th century and features an original stove, pictured here. A room at the back of the house that functioned as a kitchen in the 1800s now contains a large loom used to exhibit examples of early weaving.
BAY VIEW SCHOOLHOUSE
The Bay View Schoolhouse was built in 1822 and used continuously until 1925. The one-room structure has been decorated with period furniture to reflect how it likely looked more than 100 years ago. It was donated to the historical socety by the Dickerson family, which had used it as a farm machine shop, and its dedication was part of Southold Town’s 350th anniversary in 1990.
